    This volume details Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels through the themes of the ambivalent ethics of science and technology, the position of women in the male-dominated world, and the ambiguous role played by religion and spirituality. The book's unique and original approach places Atwood's fiction within the contemporary world, with all the problems of our fast-changing reality. Furthermore, it provides an excellent reading of her dystopias in a broader, humanist context, with an emphasis on the social, cultural and political issues that have been important for both her, the writer, and us, the readers

    The edible woman : the psychology of early second-wave feminism -- Surfacing : origins and identity -- Lady oracle : postmodernism and the body -- Life before man : feminism and science -- Bodily harm : the imprisoning gaze -- The handmaid's tale : second-wave feminism as anti-utopia -- Cat's eye : articulating the body -- The robber bride : the other woman in post-colonial discourse -- Alias grace : narrating the self -- The blind assassin : the end of feminism? -- Oryx and Crake : a postfeminist future

    "Margaret Atwood : Feminism and fiction takes a new look at the complex relationship between Margaret Atwood's fiction and feminist politics. Examining in detail the concerns and choices of an author who has frequently been termed feminist but has famously rejected the label on many occasions, this book traces the influences of feminism in Atwood's work and simultaneously plots moments of dissent or debate." "Fiona Tolan presents a clear and detailed study of the first eleven novels of one of Canada's most prominent authors. Each chapter can be read as an individual textual analysis, whilst the chronological structure provides a fascinating insight into the shifting concerns of a popular and influential author over a period of nearly thirty-five years."--BOOK JACKET.

    "In this book, Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels-The Handmaid's Tale, The MaddAddam trilogy, The Heart Goes Last and The Testaments-are analyzed from the perspective provided by the combined views of the construction of the posthuman subject in its interactions with science and technology, and the Anthropocene as a cultural field of enquiry. Posthumanist critical concerns try to dismantle anthropocentric notions of the human and defend the need for a closer relationship between humanity and the environment. Supported by the exemplification of the generic characteristics of the cli-fi genre, this book discusses the effects of climate change, at the individual level, and as a collective threat that can lead to a "world without us." Moreover, Margaret Atwood is herself the constant object of extensive academic interest and Posthuman theory is widely taught, researched and explored in almost every intellectual field. My book is aimed at world-wide readers, not only those interested in Margaret Atwood's oeuvre, but also those interested in the debate between critical posthumanism and transhumanism, together with the ethical implications of living in the Anthropocene era regarding our daily lives and practices. It will be especially attractive for academics: university teachers, post-graduates, researchers, and college students in general"--

    The end(s) of myth : Apocalyptic and prophetic fictions in Headhunter -- Allegories of ruin and redemption : Michael Ondaatje's The English patient -- Margaret Atwood's "Hairball" : Apocalyptic cannibal fiction -- Mapping and dreaming : resisting Apocalypse in Green grass, running water -- Broken letters : Obasan as traumatic Apocalyptic testimony -- Conclusion : adrift after the Apocalypse

    "Traditional apocalyptic narratives highlight the drama of a chosen elect. Contemporary Canadian fiction, however, typically portrays the apocalypse from the perspective of marginalized individuals barred from paradise, creating a distinctly anti-apocalyptic discourse. Rewriting Apocalypse in Canadian Fiction is the first book to explore the literary, psychological, political, and cultural repercussions of the apocalypse in the fiction of Timothy Findley, Michael Ondaatje, Margaret Atwood, Thomas King, and Joy Kogawa, Marlene Goldman traces the history of the apocalyptic literary tradition and its key motifs in close readings of these Canadian works, which challenge rather than embrace apocalypse's key features."--BOOK JACKET.
